I found myself in a pickle today. I work at the airport and asked God for the opportunity to share Him with someone today while on my way in to work. And I believe I got that opportunity but failed in my goal. A woman came up to the table and we were chatting about the music. She had decided to wait and not purchase a CD today because she was having a hard time making a decision. She then shared with me that it was because she was here for a funeral. I wanted to ask her if I could pray for her, but I didn't. I wanted to say God bless you, but I didn't. I let my fear keep me from voicing my beliefs to her. What might God have done through me if I had asked. I have been praying for her periodically since then and believe that God can minister to her even when I don't follow through.
What held me back? I was concerned about sharing my beliefs while I was working. I doubt that Jesus would have been held back by that. Does anyone have words of wisdom about being at work and sharing Jesus?
Wouldn't it be nice to work at Northwestern Book Store!

I understand your plight. It's a tricky thing, especially at work. It reminds me of the movie 'The Big Kahuna' which addresses that very topic. Have you talked to Stephen about it at all?
The important thing to keep in mind is that Jesus only did what the Father did. There were times that Jesus did not heal people. I imagine there were also times that Jesus did not steer the subject of conversation to the Kingdom of Heaven, even if He could have. The key is to be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
